1. Will it be pre-written like Goldstone I?
William ,   Israel   (06.02.10)
What good is this damn report to uncovering the truth? Goldstone report was a travisty, it only focused on input from "Palestinians" and only those that Hamas allowed Goldstone to speak to. Further, his report was nothing more than suggestions for further investigations but the world has already adopted it as fact. Look at the comments of those voting for it - the report is already written. Global democracy at its finest.
2. Please probe why EXPIRED MEDICATION was to be distributed-
Alan ,   SA   (06.02.10)
Its DANGEROUS . Do the Humanitarians think it is humanitarian to give EXPIRED MEDICATION to unsuspecting patients .
3. How come the embargo on Cuba is valid
Levi ,   Leiden, Holland   (06.02.10)
because the Cuban government took the property of American corporations half a century ago, but an Israeli siege on Gaza, where missiles have been fired at Israeli civilians is morally repugnant? Why are the citizens of Cuba living in sub-standard conditions under the terrible American oppression? because forty years ago they aimed some missiles at the US? It's not like they fired them. Obviously, the attempt to isolate Cuba failed and did not harm the communist party there. I advise Raul Castro to adopt the IHH's methods. Keep sending Cuban boats to Florida until the embargo is lifted. Get lots of footage of the US Coast Guard and then beat them when they come on board.
4. I hope this time the truth we''ll be revealed
itai ,   USA   (06.02.10)
I am proud jewish and i hope this time israel will have the sence to cooporate with the Council so they can reveal the truth about the "peace activists" which were cold blood murderers. They deserve to die!!! No one can judge Israel for defending itself. Hamas and his activists are jusr like Al-kaida: A terror group that should be destroyed.
5. :: Bring it on
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (06.02.10)
According to pro-Israeli news reports, not to mention the comments from Ynuts here, Israel was totally (morally and legally) correct in its actions. Thus Israel will have nothing to fear from such an investigation and will happily offer full cooperation. Let’s prove to the world that Israel is not afraid for the truth to come out.
6. :: Question for the Ynuts
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (06.02.10)
Who would you like to see conduct this investigation? Obviously you can’t have Goldstone but go ahead an pick any pro-Israeli person you would like to see? Maybe Dershowitz? Or what about Melanie Phillips?
7. Guess who rules the UNHRC?
Karinette ,   Paris, france   (06.02.10)
Recently, th presidency of the UNHRC has been granted to ... Lybia. We all, of course, know how this country respects human rights... The UN can now be considered as the instrument of the islamists and has purely lost his soul long ago.
8. Probe Flotilla, Not Raid
emanon ,   USA   (06.02.10)
This was the intent all along: to create martyrs and sucker Israel into accomplishing the terrorstinians' goal. You really think the next boat will be any different? I sure don't think so . . .
9. UNHRC IS A YOKE
Alexis Sitton ,   San Juan PR   (06.02.10)
With a majority of Human Right Violators Countries... Do yourself a favor. Stop the "CHARADA". Probe SSG SHALIT INHUMAN INSOLATION 4 yrs and counting. That's a Human Mistreatment. HYPOCRITES !!!
10. Let the demonization
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (06.02.10)
Who will be the next Goldstone? The next one to be smeared and demonized because they reach a conclusion that is not 100% pro-Israel.
11. Matty
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (06.02.10)
It would have to be Phillips. Dershowitz would be insufficiently pro-Zionist for the YNut crowd.
12. U.S. Republicans. Let Obama squirm trying to defend the U.N.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.02.10)
It is no secret that most Americans despise the U.N. In fact, both Obama and the U.N. are falling in popularity, among Americans, like rocks. Both are hostile to everything America stands for. The U.N. does very little except endlessly condemning Israel while heinous genocidal crimes are ignored. Who needs the U.N. Why force U.S. taxpayers to support it? U.S. Republicans should make funding the U.N. a midterm election issue. Let Obama squirm trying to defend the U.N. from fed up American patriots, who make up the large majority of Americans.
13. UN decides to condemn Israel
Danny   (06.02.10)
in other news sun rises in the east....
14. UN resolution
Alon ,   Aventura, USA   (06.02.10)
Any where I can see which 3 countries voted against and which 8 abstained?
15. zionist flatulence
H Smithers   (06.02.10)
like being upwind?
